A method and system for gathering information from and setting up a surveillance network within an earth-surface environment that includes inserting one or more mobile robotic devices having a sensing subsystem, a communications subsystem, and a navigation subsystem into an earth-surface environment
A method and system for gathering information from and setting up a surveillance network within an earth-surface environment that includes inserting one or more mobile robotic devices having a sensing subsystem, a communications subsystem, and a navigation subsystem into an earth-surface environment. The mobile robotic device may be configured into a traveling pose selected from a plurality of available traveling poses, and directed using the navigation subsystem to a sensing location within the earth-surface environment. The environment may be monitored and sensed information collected may be stored or communicated to a remote location. The mobile robotic device may be configured to operate with a vehicle carrier to facilitate insertion and deployment of the robotic vehicle into the earth-surface environment.

1. A system for gathering information from within an earth-surface environment, comprising: at least one mobile robotic device operable on an earth surface of an earth-surface environment, which is configurable into at least one deployment pose and a plurality of traveling poses, the mobile robotic
1. A system for gathering information from within an earth-surface environment, comprising: at least one mobile robotic device operable on an earth surface of an earth-surface environment, which is configurable into at least one deployment pose and a plurality of traveling poses, the mobile robotic device comprising: a multi-frame body having multiple single-track units coupled by an active articulating linkage;a navigation subsystem for selecting the optimum traveling pose for the earth- surface environment;a sensing subsystem for collecting information from the earth-surface environment; anda carrier vehicle operable with the mobile robotic device as configured in the at least one deployment pose to facilitate deployment of the mobile robotic device into the earth-surface environment, wherein the mobile robotic device is housed in a projectile deliverable from the carrier vehicle to the earth surface of the earth-surface environment and reconfigurable into one of the plurality of traveling poses so as to enable the mobile robotic device to locate to a first sensing location within the earth-surface environment. 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a remote command center operable to receive the information from the at least one mobile robotic device, wherein a network is established between the remote command center and the at least one mobile robotic device operating within the earth-surface environment, and wherein the network may be selectively dismantled by the removal of the at least one mobile robotic device from the earth-surface environment. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of traveling poses includes a tank pose, a train pose, a zig-zag pose, an outside-climbing pose, and an inside climbing pose. 4. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one utility pod deployable by the mobile robotic device at a second covert sensing location within the earth-surface environment and having at least one sensor and at least one communications subsystem for transmitting information. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the at least one utility pod is selected from the group consisting of a sensor pod, a communications relay pod, an explosives pod, an alarm pod, a recording pod, an incapacitating pod, a concealment pod, an effector pod and combinations thereof. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein the robotic device comprises a payload bay for stowing one or more of the utility pods. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile robotic device further comprises a communications subsystem for establishing bi-directional communication with a remote location for sharing the collected information. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the communications subsystem of the mobile robotic device further comprises a communications relay between the at least one utility pod and the remote command center. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the carrier vehicle is selected from the group consisting of a ground vehicle, an aircraft, a balloon, a boat, a submarine, and any combination of these. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the projectile is self-powered. 11. The system of claim 1, further comprising packaging the at least one robotic device as configured within a deployment configuration.
